Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

Totally agree with you Stuart, something has to be done as it's now getting way out of hand.

Facebook have, up until now, sought to justify refusing to take down innapropriate posts on the grounds of free speech, but now appear to be taking matters more seriously. In the past they refused to take down hate speech against a wheelchair user, but Tommy Robinson has now had his Facebook and Instagram accounts closed due to 'violating community standards':

He is now officially barred from the platform due to hate speech. Facebook made it clear that they would not tolerate an environment of intimidation and exclusion towards minority groups. In addition, PayPal & YouTube are refusing to do business with him.
